Who to go After?
In Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity piracy comes up a lot. In one part of the book, the author discusses how the Internet is making it easy for people to share content that is copyrighted, which robs the copyright holder of potential money (pg. 17). While the people who share content that is copyrighted are wrong to do so, I think that sometimes the people who are trying to stop piracy from happening try to go after the individuals who do this, when they should really go after the people or companies who allow it to happen. Instead of going after each person who shares copyrighted material by using a tool on the Internet to do so, they should go after the makers of the tool and stop them from allowing users to pirate material.
